What's on your bench right now? [1/43]

Can you give more info on the truck proxy. Lloyd mentioned it to me, but I haven't heard or seen much about it

Peter, try using a 2mm axle to align the bore in the gear with the drill press chuck. Then dull (flatten or negative rake) the cutting face of the drill so it won't "grab" the existing bore in the gear.

Randy, thanks for the idea!
the existing bore in the crowns is 1.5mm
i could use a piece of axle to align the crown, clamp it fixed, switch to the 2.2mm drill bit and drill the hole.
most of the crowns are off-center but nicely right angled, so my problem really seems to be the centering. With the 1.5mm axle, this problem should be gone.
Will try it in the evening and report, i got 3 crowns left to try :)

Nice work as usual Peter. You build some fine looking cars.( trucks too!!!!).

I should have tired to get something together for the Truck Proxy, but I think I am out of time. I think I have some old Artin Trucks somewhere. Should see If I can get something built from one of those.

great Porsche, Aki!
nice lights! they always add to the look of a car!

Dan, Artin trucks are fun, but they need a rotating guide! (part of the ProNoMag rules)

i will send an eMail regarding the Kleskun Hills Fun Run shortly.
